in this photograph? What kind of brake hanger is that and for what reason?
I just got one for my bike. (well, I shouldn't say "just", I got it about a year ago)
Surly made 'em for the folks who had hangers that put too much of a kink in the brake cable.
Here it is: http://surlybikes.com/parts/cable_hanger/
It does make the brake a lot smoother, and it seems to be kinder to the cable housing.
Interesting. I just like the way it looks.
It is quite elegant.
There's also the "hand-job" version, courtesy of Ibis:

-- gnat!
Oh my :p
:D
tough to put a hanger like that on most small frames, as you run into interference with the brake straddle carrier as the rear wheel rim is much closer to top tube/seat tube junction....Quote:
